Installation Guide - Vinyl & Composite Stick on Tiles
Our peel-and-stick Vinyl and Composite Tiles are perfect for DIYers wanting to transform spaces with a designer tile look—without the mess or cost of traditional tiling. No need for a tiler, grout, or expensive cutting tools. Just follow the simple steps below, and you’ll have your space refreshed in no time.
What You’ll Need:
- Cutting Surface (e.g. thick cardboard or scrap wood)
- Ruler
- Stanley Knife (fresh blade) or Sharp Scissors
- Pencil
- Cleaning Agent (sugar soap or dishwashing liquid)
- Cleaning Cloth
- Bucket of Warm Water
- Fine Sandpaper (for prepping painted surfaces).
Using in Bathrooms or Wet Areas
Our Vinyl and Composite tiles are water-resistant by design, making them a great choice for splashbacks, kitchen walls, laundry zones, and bathroom feature areas. However, for areas with direct water exposure, like shower enclosures, extra waterproofing steps are essential.
Some customers have installed the tiles successfully in shower zones by:
- Sealing all edges and corners with waterproof silicone
- Filling joins (for vinyl sheets) or bevels/grout lines (for composite tiles) with silicone or epoxy grout
While this isn’t part of our standard installation recommendation, many DIYers have achieved excellent results using these extra sealing steps.
Heat Safety Note:
For kitchen installs, we recommend leaving at least 30 cm of space from the back stove burner to your splashback area to prevent heat-related damage. While we don’t suggest placing tiles directly next to open flames or high heat, over 10,000 customers have successfully used our peel & stick tiles in kitchen spaces with closer clearances—without issue.
Step by Step Guide
-
Step 1 - Clean the Surface
To ensure the tile adhesive
sticks to your projects surface wipe the area clean with a gentle cleaning agent to remove any dirt, dust or debris. Wait for the area to be touch dry before proceeding to the next step. -
Step 2 - Measure
Measure your space to confirm
you have the right number of sheets for your project. This is the step where you can play around with the placement and direction of your tile. -
Step 3 - Cut First Tile Sheet
This is where those extra
sheets come in handy, measure twice cut once! It's always best to start with a straight line closest to the corner of the wall and work to the opposite side for a clean and consistent look. -
Step 4 - Remove Adhesive Film
Gently peel back the film and place the tile sheet on the wall. Ensure you align the bottom and side of the sheet into corners for a clean line. Once applied use your hand to firmly press sheet onto the wall for optimum adhering.
-
Step 5 - Align Second Tile
Continue applying each tile sheet matching the pattern you've chosen with the grout lines for a seamless finish. Keep any off cuts for the end of the project to fill gaps or smaller spaces.
-
Step 6 - Finish Tiling Wall
For an even more pristine finish apply an all purpose silicone to match the grout colour on all the edges. Then stand back and admire your work. Don't forget to take plenty of photos and share!
